Kicking the can down the road with deferrals is what caused this issue in the first place, causing some players to collect ridiculous wages this season and make the salary cap impossible. More deferrals and we are just extending the problem and causing future issues with salary cap/registration...

He'll take up a career as a professional orchestra conductor where he can show his specialist pointing and gesticulating skills. He's already practised every counter attack we've faced for the last year.

Yes. Eric, Depay and Manaj were registered 1 day before the Sociedad game. The board will probably come through with a way to do it or worst case we don't have them for the first or second games which isn't too bad.

From Athletic today : 'This situation is further complicated by the revised contract agreed with De Jong by Bartomeu’s board in October 2020, under which he earned less money between then and now, but will be due almost €90million over its remaining four seasons (not including the other...

Why not make it 2027. We'll be hopeless without Busi leading the midfield. #Busi2027 We only play the way we do because of Busquets!!!!! As far as I'm concerned he can stay at the club even until he's 45 because we will be doomed without his pointing and gesturing!!

A hunch tells me Busquets and Pique are going to 'earn' starting spots this season once again.

I'm fine with their 'undeserved earnings' and the 'charade' around footballers, at the end of the day, they are providing an enjoyable interest for all of us, but equally people should stop acting like these situations are comparable to normal fields of work or that players contracts can't be...

Footballers don't operate on our rules. They make millions a year to kick a ball and have fun whilst only 'working' a couple hours a week. They also have legally some of the strongest contracts of any field since bad performance can't be defined properly. If me or you did an Umtiti in our jobs...

Pique was said to have personally negotiated his deal with Barto when they were pressing the squad about wage cuts... So he is really implicated if these allegations are true. I think this salary cut is him getting ahead of the curve and into the media and fans good books before any revelations...

This threatening to sue business appears to be a bit ridiculous and unfair. But we should wait to see exactly who is implicated and how before we pass judgement, and if there is criminality/shady bookkeeping, if Frenkie had knowledge of it in any way.

He wants to stay and collect his deferred wages. Which he's entitled to but I agree with a great post serghei made a couple days ago. We are a fan owned club which relies on good financial management and we can't afford to pay players that aren't performing like superstars. We're not a charity...

Legal battles, especially civil ones, take years and years and years. Look at the Neymar case which only concluded recently. Nobody can just snap their fingers and declare a contract void. If that were to happen the players in question would all have left the club by then. Click bait from Cope.

It wouldn't just be a punishment as the sole issue, though a major one as we are already financially struggling. But a legal process likely means a ton of information about the club's working practises, past and present, will be disclosed, and that will probably include a number of scandals...

If a club breaks FFP and receives an FFP fine the fine isn't invoiced to the president. It is paid off by the club as an entity. The same applies here. Even though it is all Barto's fault that's not how legal proceedings work, FC Barcelona is who contracted those players and as such FC...

If the inquest finds that they were illegally contracted players and we played them knowing that then presumably significant sanctions will be applied on us too. The wrongdoing here in the eyes of the authorities, the other teams in the league and in football is down to FC Barcelona. It's not...

'Aguero scored every 108 minutes in the Premier League, comfortably the best rate in the competition's history. He could play another 2,520 minutes - or 28 games - of Premier League football without scoring and would still have the best minutes-per-goal ratio of any top-flight player with more...

Samuelmarsden Qs: Why send letter 16 months after election when club had carried out exhaustive audit year before? Why (if they didn?t) not send to other players who renewed at same time? Why only threaten action if certain there is wrongdoing? All at the same time MUFC agreement leaked? Very...

They want to invalidate his renewal, which essentially means he gives up all his deferred wages.

Here is the full article Ornstein: Barcelona threaten legal action over Frenkie de Jong contract David Ornstein Aug 8, 2022 Barcelona have told Frenkie de Jong they want to annul his existing contract and return to the deal he was on before, alleging the terms given to him by the club’s...

Just as a side note, it is interesting how an English journo has broken this news before any Catalan or Spanish outlet including the likes of Romero. Ornstein although very reliable doesn't have much Barca info yet he got this scoop. Do we think that the likes of Romero didn't know? Lying by...
